PREFACE  TO  THE  1917  EDITION. 


The  following  pages  contain  the  Dictionary  as  originally  published  by  the  War 
Department,  with  a  supplement  containing  the  more  important  recent  military-  and 
technical  terms. 

It  had  been  my  intention,  whenever  time  should  serve,  to  incorporate  these  terms, 
as  well  as  thousands  of  others,  in  the  main  work,  so  as  to  make  a  new  book  of  it;  but 
such  a  book  would  have  called  for  at  least  two  years'  steady  labor.  Wlien,  therefore, 
The  Adjutant  General  a.sked  me  if  I  could  furnish  any  additions  to  the  original  text, 
the  only  possible  course  was  to  collect  them  into  a  supplement.

PREFACE. 


In  spite  of  the  events  of  1870-71,  perhaps  because  of  them,  the  French  language 
still  holds  its  own  as  one  whose  military  literature  is  of  deep  interest  to  the  stu- 
dent of  military  progress.  Apart  from  professional  works  of  purely  French  origin, 
tlie  stake  of  the  French  people  in  their  army  is  so  great  that,  sooner  or  later,  every 
technical  advance,  every  military  achievement,  whether  afloat  or  ashore,  is  laid 
under  contribution,  if  not  to  furnish  its  share  of  possible  improvement  to  the  French 
service,  at  least  to  satisfy  the  French  people  of  the  excellence  of  that  service.  And 
it  follows  that  with  French  alone  an  officer  can  keep  abreast  of  his  profession  almost 
as  well  as  though  he  had  at  his  command  all  the  other  foreign  languages  whose  mili- 
tary literat\u"e8  are  important  in  a  professional  point  of  view. 

In  some  respects  the  preparation  of  a  French-English  military  technical  diction- 
ary isa  task  of  great  difficulty.  This  arises  partly  from  theinability  of  the  English  lan- 
guage in  all  cases  to  supply  the  exact  technical  equivalent  of  a  given  French  term, 
but  more  particularly  from  the  extremely  detailed  nature  of  technical  French  nomen- 
clature. WTiere  we  in  English  are  frequently  satisfied  to  apply  the  class  name  to 
each  of  the  objects  or  things  of  one  and  the  same  class,  the  French  will  almost  inva- 
riably modify  this  class  name  by  some  adjunct  limiting  or  defining  its  application. 
Lexicographically,  the  result  is  to  force  the  substitution  of  a  description  lor  a  name. 
It  is  pertinent  to  remark,  however,  that  this  substitution  is  unavoidable  in  those 
cases,  relatively  numerous,  in  which  the  thing  to  be  defined  is  peculiar  to  tlie  French. 
It  is  hoped  that  these,  as  well  as  other  difficulties  of  which  it  is  imnecessary  to  speak 
here,  may  be  bome  in  mind  by  those  who  may  use  this  book;  for  wliile  all  care 
has  been  taken  to  make  it  as  accurate  as  possible,  still  it  would  be  vain  to  hope  that 
all  errors,  whether  of  omission  or  of  commission,  have  been  excluded.  The  author 
takes  this  occasion  to  say  that  he  will  be  greatly  obliged  to  officers  and  others  if  they 
>\'il!  bring  to  his  attention  any  mistakes  that  may  fall  under  their  notice. 

The  author  desires  gratefully  to  thank  the  various  friends  that  have  helped 
him.  Chief  among  tliese  stands  Col.  Peter  S.  Michie,  of  the  Military  Academy. 
Maj.  William  A.  Simpson,  of  the  Adjutant-General's  Department;  Dr.  Charles 
E.  Munroe,  of  the  Corcoran  Scientific  School;  (^apt.  John  R.  \\'illiam.s  and  Lioiit. 
I.  X.  Lewis,  of  the  Artillery;  Capt.  J.  E.  Kuhn,  of  the  Engineertj;  Lieut.  K.  IV 
Cassatt,  of  the  Cavalry,  and  Mr.  Laurence  V.  Ben6t,  of  the  Ilotchki.'vs  Ordnance 
Company,  Limited,  have  laid  him  under  obligation.'!  that  are  cheerfully  acknowl- 
edged. Mr.  Wilfred  Stevens,  of  the  Adjutaut-Gonorars  C)ffice,  has  given  Kuh.^tan- 
tial  aid  in  preparing  the  manuscript  for  the  press  and  in  reading  the  prw)f.

THE  FRENCH  REVOLUTIONARY  CALENDAR. 

This  calendar,  established  by  tlie  First  Republic,  went  into  effe<t  by  retroaction 
on  September  22,  1792,  having  been  legally  adopted  on  November  24,  1703.  It 
was  abolishe<l  December  31,  1805.  The  year  consistetl  of  twelve  months  of  thirty 
days  each;  five,  and  in  leap  years  six,  supplementary  days  (sans-rulottides)  were 
adde<l  to  bring  the  number  of  days  up  to  3(>")  and  to  3()f)  respectively.  Kach  set  of 
four  years  was  called  a.  fratu'iad< .  Each  month  was  divicUnl  into  periods  (decadrs) 
of  ten  days  each,  the  week  having  been  abolishe<l;  the  tenth  day  wa.«  a  day  of  rest. 
The  year  beginning  September  22.  1792,  was  the  year  1  (ran  l)  of  the  Republic  .

Of  the  words  contained  in  the  follo\vin<^  pa^^es,  the  vast  majority  were  collected  hy 
reading  official  and  ftandard  texts.  The  work  as  it  stands  was  prepare<l  under  extreme 
pressure.  It  is  hoped  that  this  fact  will  be  borne  in  mind  as  shortcomings  aro 
discovered. 

I  am  indebted  to  Gen.  Paul  Vignal,  military  attaclxe,  French  Kmbassy.  for  clearing 
up  a  few  difTiculties;  to  Maj.  F.  P.  Lahm,  Signal  Corps,  as  well  as  to  ^farcliand's  Modern 
Parisian  SlanL',  for  some  of  the  slang  terms  recorded;  to  Capt.  V..  L.  (Jruber.  Field 
Artillery,  and  to  Capt.  M.  E.  do  Jarny.  French  Embassy,  for  some  artillery,  and  lo 
Col.  Wirt  Robinson,  Military  Academy,  for  some  electrical  definitions. 

My  best  thanks  are  due  to  Sous-Lieut.  Maurice  Tabuteau,  and  to  Capt.  Eriu-st 
Jones,  Signal  Corps,  for  v;;lued  a.s-sisLauce  in  aeronautical  nomenclature.
